We encourage you to spend time during the week before Easter thinking through the events of the last week of Jesus’ life before he went to the cross.
You and your family could read passages from the gospels that speak of the events of ‘holy week’ – Matthew 21-28, Mark 11-15; Luke 19-23; John 13-19.
Or follow along with these readings from the Book of Common Prayer.
